"So, I guess you really liked Clinton. He had these “surpluses” for a number of years. They weren’t real, but he had them."

Those surpluses were due to an increase in the SS taxes. By law, an SS surplus MUST be put in Treasuries to finance the government. The Treasure Department counts these notes as “income”, but they ARE NOT INCOME.
